I want to focus on a specific area of the face that so many of us seem to have some complications, the cheeks. For a lot of us, the cheek area of our face can get red, sensitive, small bumps, or break out without warning. Fluctuations or problems with the skin on our cheeks are often an indicator that our body is trying to tell us something about our lifestyle, diet or digestive system.

There’s a reason we named our company “scrub me”; we absolutely love a good full body exfoliation! Scrubbing the skin on our body isn’t just for buffing away and softening dry skin, it also helps keep skin firm and youthful. Full body exfoliation brings circulation and oxygen flow to the skin’s surface, helping keep your proteins happy and healthy. Using some type of body scrub, loofah, exfoliating soap, or dry brush on your body a few times a week will keep your skin firmer for longer. Think of exfoliating like a mini fountain of youth!

Did you know when scrub me™ started as a company in 2013 we only had two types of products? A sea salt body scrub with added botanical ingredients and our ever popular whipped shea butter. These products were created because we felt we needed to put more of an emphasis on taking care of the skin on our bodies, not just our faces. We want to pamper all parts of our skin to keep it healthy, clear, and youthful. Cleansing, exfoliating, massaging, and moisturizing your body with great products at home is important. But, there are a few in spa treatments that can help get your skin in optimal condition!

Stretch marks are essentially scars that occur when severe damage is done to collagen and elastin fibers; rapid growth of the skin or rapid weight loss is what causes this damage. When skin stretches or changes very quickly, especially if it’s dry, the proteins can’t hold their natural structure and end up tearing. Stretch marks look like uneven lines going across your skin, usually, there are a few right next to each other.

Certain skin disorders are more common than most of us think. Issues such as stretch marks, rashes and bumps, or eczema can be embarrassing for us to talk about or ask for help managing them.

We’ve got some helpful skin care tips that can alleviate certain skin disorders or prevent them from happening at all, and maintain a healthy complexion.

If we've ever had the pleasure of meeting in person I'm almost certain that we've discussed my very specific skin care routine. I like to use my personal home care routine as an example to explain how important it is to have a daily regimen at home. Facials, treatments, and peels can only take your skin so far. Yes, treatments like these do greatly improve your complexion, skin's health, and help you achieve your ultimate skin goals. But, without a proper skin care routine at home, your skin cannot maintain all results in between treatments.

Before, our bath bombs did have some amazing skin nourishing ingredients and essential oils, but we felt like they needed a little update. Like with all our other skin care, we wanted to be really thoughtful about our recipes and which ingredients we chose. We developed four different spa bombs to treat a few common skin care and body concerns.

We think understanding preservatives in skin care is important. While scrub me™ products do have antimicrobial and antioxidant ingredients, we do not use preservatives in our products. Some preservatives can cause skin reactions or sensitivity and are also known to be unhealthy. There is a wide range of preservatives so it can get a little confusing figuring out what is okay to use and what is not.
